The Steelblade Nock Fiend swung its steel blade with relentless force, creating gusts of wind with each strike.
Several Godblessed who attempted to approach were injured.
The Steelblade Nock Fiend was evidently much stronger than ordinary Nock Fiends, but it wasn't invincible.
Many Godblessed's ranged skills occasionally hit, still managing to inflict damage.
-8
-12
-10...
Damage indicators continuously floated above its head, causing the Steelblade Nock Fiend to stagger back several steps.
Seeing this, Wang Ze immediately closed in, his fists relentlessly pounding.
-22
-20
-24...
His damage was significantly higher than that of other Godblessed, forcing the Steelblade Nock Fiend to retreat under his assault.
The other team members were equally excited by this sight.
Ye Tao shouted, "Brother Wang, you're awesome! Let me help you!"
The teammates followed up with their attacks.
They were the strongest team in Classroom 208, with most members possessing D-Rank Talents, their output much higher than other teams.
With their help, the Steelblade Nock Fiend's health bar rapidly decreased.
A few minutes later, the BOSS's health had dropped below the red danger line.
Seeing the BOSS's health nearing depletion, Wang Ze's expression was filled with barely concealed excitement, his movements quickening.
However, such rapid advancement didn't come without a price.
Including himself, other teammates were more or less injured, and their output wasn't as strong as before.
Wang Ze's eyes were now only on the BOSS, nothing else mattered.
"As long as I kill the BOSS, I can get the announcement reward!"
Wang Ze's fists moved faster and faster, until finally, the BOSS's health was down to its last sliver, and he shouted loudly:
"Everyone stop! Let me deliver the final blow!"
The teammates obediently stopped their attacks.
Seeing the reward so close at hand, Wang Ze couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Haha, the reward is mine!"
With that, he was about to deliver the final blow to the barely surviving Steelblade Nock Fiend, but just as he prepared to strike, he suddenly felt a tearing pain in his lower back.
He turned his head in horror to see Lin Mo's right arm had somehow transformed into a sharp bone sword, which was now viciously stabbed into his kidney.
Lin Mo looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Thanks for helping me fight the BOSS, I'll take it from here."
The bone sword was abruptly withdrawn from his waist, and blood spurted everywhere.
Wang Ze fell backward uncontrollably, and the teammates behind him had no time to stop what was happening.
They watched as Lin Mo stepped forward slightly, the sharp bone sword slicing through the air with a "swish."
With a "clang," the Steelblade Nock Fiend's head was severed cleanly, rolling down its belly.
Lying on the ground, Wang Ze listened in despair as the system notification sounded in his ear:
[Ding! Congratulations to Lin Mo for becoming the first player in Novice Zone 911 to kill a Nock Fiend BOSS, reward: Silver Chest*1, Time +1 day]
[Ding! Congratulations to Classroom 208 for clearing the third wave of the Beast Tide, the area's restriction has been lifted, you may now move freely in Novice Zone 911.] Enjoying the story? Read on at novelping(.)com.
The two notifications left the students in Classroom 208 stunned.
However, before they could express their joy, they were shocked by the scene before them.
Lin Mo, an Abilityless, dared to backstab Wang Ze?
How could he dare?
Ye Tao reacted the fastest, immediately shouting angrily, "Lin Mo, how dare you betray Brother Wang!"
From the start, he was dissatisfied with Lin Mo's position beside Wang Ze.
Clearly, he was the number one lackey, so why did Wang Ze value Lin Mo more than him?
Er Hei and Da Li also spoke up.
"Lin Mo, how dare you attack Brother Wang!"
"How could you!?"
Facing these accusations and threats, Lin Mo didn't even glance at them, simply storing away the Silver Chest he had just acquired.
Campus beauty Zhang Lanlan saw the chest glowing with a silvery-white light, her eyes flickering as she said:
"Lin Mo, apologize to Brother Wang and give me... give the Silver Chest to Brother Wang, and we'll pretend this never happened."
Wang Ze clutched his bleeding kidney, slowly standing up, his eyes fixed on the Silver Chest as he said:
"That's right, give me the chest, and this will all be over, you'll still be my brother!"
He spoke with righteous assurance, but a barely noticeable murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Who would keep such a traitor by their side?
As soon as Lin Mo handed over the chest, he would kill him immediately!
Wang Ze thought secretly.
Lin Mo sneered, directly plunging the bone sword into the Steelblade Nock Fiend's body.
Blood flowed back along the bone sword into his body, and within seconds, the BOSS's corpse shriveled up.
[Left Upper Limb Cancerization +1!]
The notification sounded promptly.
Wang Ze was shocked by this scene: "So you're not Abilityless?"
Lin Mo withdrew the bloodstained bone sword, saying, "It's too late to realize that now."
As the word "now" fell, he stepped forward, his right arm transformed into a bone sword, lightly swung forward.
A clean arc cut through the air, the sharp bone sword slashing towards Wang Ze.
Wang Ze instinctively tried to retreat, but his feet felt glued to the ground, unable to move.
"No..."
His words were cut short.
The next second, his head was lifted high by a force and then fell.
After rolling a few times, it stopped at his feet, and just before his consciousness faded into death, he thought:
"Before true death comes, it turns out the whole body goes limp..."
The event happened too quickly for the surrounding students to react.
"Lin Mo, you're insane! How dare you kill Brother Wang?"
"Lin Mo, you're courting death!"
Ye Tao and the others shouted in shock and anger.
Lin Mo walked forward a few steps, unhesitatingly plunging the bone sword into Wang Ze's corpse. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
In the terrified eyes of everyone, Wang Ze's body, like the Steelblade Nock Fiend's earlier, was quickly drained by the bone sword, leaving it unrecognizable.
[Left Upper Limb Cancerization +0.8]
Indeed, a C-rank Godblessed is much tastier than an ordinary one...
Lin Mo licked his lips.
"Monster, you're a monster!"
Ye Tao stepped back half a step in fear.
The other students, witnessing this horrifying scene, also felt a chill.
Lin Mo's ability seemed extremely creepy; not only could his right arm transform into a bone sword, but he could also absorb others' blood like a vampire from the movies.
The most crucial part was that Wang Ze, who had been strutting around the classroom moments ago, didn't last a second under his hand.
Though there was an element of surprise, the clean and decisive strike was not like that of a novice, but rather a seasoned killer.
The ruthlessness of his actions far exceeded that of any Godblessed in the classroom.
Ye Tao and the others, who had been shouting moments ago, now didn't dare make a sound, retreating a few steps in fear.
Lin Mo ignored these people, his arm moving slightly as the bone sword easily reverted to an arm.
This was the second ability of [Cancer]—[Aberrant].
As long as any part's cancerization reached a certain level, it could undergo aberration.
Bone sword, bone blade, bone whip...
As long as the cancerization value reached a certain number, more weapon forms could be produced.
He glanced around the classroom.
The small fiends in the classroom had been mostly cleared, and his right arm's cancerization had reached the upper limit of Level 1, so there was little point in staying here.
Without lingering, he prepared to leave the classroom.
Suddenly, his arm felt a soft touch.
Lin Mo turned back to see Zhang Lanlan clinging to his arm, her ample bosom pressed tightly against him, her voice sweet and coquettish:
"Lin Mo, take me with you, I've thought it over, I still like you more."
She deliberately twisted her body, her lower half clad only in a miniskirt revealing a perfect, shapely rear, her alluring figure causing many of the male students present to swallow hard.
Zhang Lanlan's looks were an 8 out of 10, but she had reached the position of campus beauty at South Mountain Academy mainly due to her nearly perfect figure.
Moreover, her usual attire was bold and revealing, treating the male classmates in her class as if they were not outsiders, a living seductress.
Had it not been for the earlier danger, Wang Ze might not have resisted her temptation and would have taken her on the spot.
The male students present were filled with envy.
First it was Wang Ze, now it was Lin Mo, but it would never be their turn.
Zhang Lanlan clung to Lin Mo, her eyes sultry as she said, "As long as you take me with you, we can go back to the dorm now, and whatever you want, I can give you..."
"Swish!"
A cold light flashed, and before Zhang Lanlan could finish her sentence, she felt a chill in her chest, followed by a heart-wrenching pain.
In disbelief, she looked down at the bone sword piercing her chest, and before she could speak again, the sword was withdrawn with a "swish."
Her body fell backward uncontrollably, collapsing softly to the ground.
Lin Mo casually flicked the blood off the bone sword, saying, "Too much talking."
Women only slow down his blade.
With that, he turned and left the classroom.
Leaving the students behind with expressions of shock.
